Question 1

Which type of diversity appears to be most related to group cohesion over the long-term according to Harrison, Price, and Bell?
A) Deep-level
B) Surface-level
C) First-level
D) Second-level

Accepted Answer

Harrison, Price, and Bell found that deep-level diversity, which includes differences in values, beliefs, and attitudes, was more related to group cohesion over the long-term than surface-level diversity, which includes differences in demographic characteristics such as race, gender, or age. First-level and second-level diversity are not commonly used or recognized terms in the field of diversity and inclusion.

Question 2

One team in the customer service department has been struggling. In particular, personalities have been clashing between team members, which is making decision-making more difficult. What kind of diversity is causing the problem according to Harrison, Price, and Bell?
A) Deep-level
B) Surface-level
C) First-level
D) Second-level

Accepted Answer

Deep-level diversity involves differences in attitudes, opinions, and values among team members, which can lead to personality clashes and difficulties in decision-making, as described in the scenario.

Question 3

Which of the following is a type of diversity involving qualitative differences among group members, as identified by Harrison and Klein?
A) Deep-level
B) Affective
C) Variety
D) Demographic

Variety diversity refers to qualitative differences among group members, such as different types of expertise or knowledge, as identified by Harrison and Klein.

Question 4

Which of the following is a type of diversity involving quantitative differences along a single dimension, as identified by Harrison and Klein?
A) Deep-level
B) Separation
C) Variety
D) Demographic

Accepted Answer

Separation diversity refers to differences in position or opinion among group members that are quantifiable along a single dimension, such as differences in political attitudes. This type of diversity is distinct from deep-level (psychological, beliefs, and values) and demographic (observable traits) diversity. Variety, while it involves differences, is more about distinct categories or types of knowledge and skills, not quantifiable differences along a single dimension.

Question 5

Members of a team in the Castle Company seem to differ in terms of their knowledge, skills, and information. What kind of diversity identified by Harrison and Klein does the team show?
A) Affective
B) Variety
C) Demographic
D) Surface-level

Accepted Answer

The team's diversity can be identified as variety diversity since they have different knowledge, skills, and information. Surface-level diversity is based on observable characteristics like race, gender, and age. Demographic diversity refers to differences in background and experiences, such as education and previous work experience. Affective diversity is about differences in attitudes, values, and beliefs.

Question 6

People working together in the marketing department experience conflict based in wide disparities in pay, power, and status. This conflict is what type of diversity identified by Harrison and Klein?
A) Low separation
B) High separation
C) Low variety
D) High disparity

Accepted Answer

High disparity is the correct answer because Harrison and Klein identify it as a type of diversity that refers to differences in rank, pay, power, and status among members of a group. The scenario described involves conflict arising from wide disparities in pay, power, and status, which aligns with the concept of high disparity.

Question 7

C) 1980
D) 1960

Question 8

What can we learn from comparing census categories over several censuses?
A) that the median age is dropping.
B) how racio-ethnic distinctions have changed over time.
C) that technology has improved.

Comparing census categories over several censuses can help us understand how racio-ethnic distinctions have changed over time. For example, in earlier censuses, certain racial groups may have been grouped together or not recognized at all, while in later censuses they may have their own distinct category. This can provide insights into changes in cultural attitudes towards race and ethnicity. Comparing census categories will not necessarily provide information on median age or technology improvements.

D) annual survey of the racio-ethnicity and sex of occupants of the same job category

Accepted Answer

An EEO-1 report is an annual survey that requires employers to report the racio-ethnicity and sex of their employees in different job categories. It helps the government track workforce diversity and identify potential discrimination.

Question 18

An AAP
A) must be submitted by any company covered by Title VII.
B) summarizes current employee demographics and the relevant workforce.
C) includes goals which, if not met, lead to serious legal and economic consequences.
D) is more useful than an EEO-1.

Accepted Answer

An AAP (Affirmative Action Plan) summarizes current employee demographics and the relevant workforce, and includes strategies and action steps to address any existing disparities in hiring or promoting protected classes. It is not required for all companies covered by Title VII, but only for federal contractors and subcontractors who meet certain thresholds. While noncompliance with AAP obligations can lead to legal and economic consequences, the AAP itself is not punitive in nature. Finally, an EEO-1 is a completely different type of report that provides basic demographic information about the workforce, but does not go into details about affirmative action efforts.
